More than 40 members will be attending the session next week in Chicago, IL. The group will hear guest speaker Scott Olson share his Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. Scott will also discuss the significance of self-awareness, leader vs. manager, how to navigate through generational issues, how to effectively work in teams (utilizing the Five Dysfunctions of a Team book), and the Teach/Coach/Mentor Continuum.

Before the session, attendees will be taking the ProScan Personality profile to figure out what charges and depletes their battery. The Emerging Leaders will also be breaking into small group discussions to discuss their real-world financial, operational, and HR challenges.

This exciting new session will allow new leaders within our membership to build the leadership skills and the peer network they’ll need to be successful.

Special thanks to Jim Blauch (Blauch Brothers), Ron Brasel (Control Services), Mike Houghton (Dowling Corporation), Dave Sloan (Ruthrauff Service), Brian Spaeth (Spaeth, Inc), and Matt Todd (Entek Corporation) for helping to plan and create the agenda for The Unified Group’s first Emerging Leaders Forum.
